INSPIRE: She’s a (really rich, eccentric) lady.

Jamie — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 03:36:35 +0000

You’ll hear and read this a million times this season but I’ll say it anyway–this fall is all about the classics (Camel coats! Minimalist gray shifts!). These timeless photos of Jackie remind me of what we’re seeing right now from Chloé, Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Hermés, et al. When making your choices for the upcoming season, you will never go wrong if you’re asking yourself: WWJW?
New York Mag just released their fall fashion issue with covergirl Katie Holmes paying homage to this famous Ron Galella windswept snapshot of her walking down Madison Avenue.
This is my fave. Jackie in Rhoda scarf and trench with young John Jr beautifully managing an ice cream cone in his camel sports coat, Adidas Sambas and Louis duffel. A scene even Wes Anderson couldn’t have dreamed.

CURATE: I had a farm in Africa… well, sort of.

I grew up in a typical mid-eighteenth century Transvaal farmhouse (horizontal, sprawling, with a corrugated tin roof and a wide veranda) on the outskirts of Pretoria in South Africa. From an early age, the house nourished my imagination as there were numerous secret places in which to hide and store my imaginary friends (only-child-syndrome)… the highlight being an unusual dark cellar under the floorboards. However, there was one major oversight in my mind… there was no STAIRCASE. Right then and there, I made a mental note to exclusively live in houses with staircases once I was grown-up (and funnily enough, I still get a thrill every time I climb one). So, I thought this week’s post should theme around the most beautiful staircases I could possibly find:
